+
+    <para>These ioctls are used to get and set the frame interval at specific
+    subdev pads in the image pipeline. The frame interval only makes sense for
+    sub-devices that can control the frame period on their own. This includes,
+    for instance, image sensors and TV tuners. Sub-devices that don't support
+    frame intervals must not implement these ioctls.</para>
+
+    <para>To retrieve the current frame interval applications set the
+    <structfield>pad</structfield> field of a &v4l2-subdev-frame-interval; to
+    the desired pad number as reported by the media controller API. When they
+    call the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FRAME_INTERVAL</constant> ioctl with a
+    pointer to this structure the driver fills the members of the
+    <structfield>interval</structfield> field.</para>
+
+    <para>To change the current frame interval applications set both the
+    <structfield>pad</structfield> field and all members of the
+    <structfield>interval</structfield> field. When they call the
+    <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FRAME_INTERVAL</constant> ioctl with a pointer to
+    this structure the driver verifies the requested interval, adjusts it based
+    on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon return the
+    &v4l2-subdev-frame-interval; contains the current frame interval as would be
+    returned by a <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FRAME_INTERVAL</constant> call.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested interval
+    doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify the interval
+    to match what the hardware can provide. The modified interval should be as
+    close as possible to the original request.</para>
+
+    <para>Sub-devices that support the frame interval ioctls should implement
+    them on a single pad only. Their behaviour when supported on multiple pads
+    of the same sub-device is not defined.</para>
